Rosenblum Comes to Stony Brook University
Posted on: November 4, 2009
On Friday, Nov. 6, Michael Rosenblum is coming to Stony Brook University. His presentation should be very worthwhile because he believes that journalism is a business. I am very interested and in sense frightened to hear what he believes and has to say about the future of the journalism profession.
Questions for Rosenblum:
1. How should students embrace this model of journalism as a business? Do we all need to become business entrepeneurs to become succesful in the future?
2. In your Columbia University Graduate School of the Internet Post, you mentioned that there needs to be a complete rethinking of the profession. You commented that the only way to do this was to gut the faculty and start fresh. Who would be hired to teach students and what kind of things would they be learning?
3. How to Make Millions in Journalism and the “Entrepreneurial Journalism” course sounds like a really great idea. Do you suggest undergraduate journalism schools start-up a similar course or should it only be offered at the graduate level?
4. Do you think journalism students should spend more time learning about business topics and strategies than learning grammar, sentence structure and writing skills? If so why?
